Thomas Latuff Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by David Lee Funeral Home & Cremation Services on Dec. 19, 2025.
Thomas H. Latuff, age 94, of Minnetonka, Minnesota, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Saturday evening, December 13, 2025.
Tom was born on April 3, 1931, in St. Paul, Minnesota, to Margaret (Bungum) and Henry Latuff. He was preceded in death by his parents; his sisters, Lila and Patricia; and his infant son, Thomas S. Latuff.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Darlene Latuff; his sister, Joan; his three children, Georgia, Michael, and Steven; his granddaughter, Andrea; and his great-granddaughter, Lila Belle.
Tom worked for Prudential Insurance, retiring 38 years ago after a long and dedicated career. He proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War, achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant.
Tom enjoyed life's simple pleasures - especially his golf game, watching football on Sundays from his favorite recliner, and gathering with friends at his local diner for "breakfast club." Over the years, he became the last remaining member of that close-knit group, until this past Saturday, when he peacefully joined them.
He was a faithful member of St. Mary of the Lake Church (105 Forestview Lane N., Plymouth, MN), where funeral services will be held on January 9, 2026. Visitation will begin at 10:00 a.m., followed by Mass at 11:00 a.m. A lunch reception will follow the service.
